Blomidon Provincial Park And The Annapolis Valley

A smooth 45 minutes from Halifax will get you within view of the Bay of Fundy, which boasts the highest tides in the world. From there, we follow the Evangeline Trail (scenic Harvest Highway), exiting at Greenwich for a stop at Noggin’s Corner Farm Market. Noggin’s is one of the oldest and largest apple producers in Canada and ships internationally under their own Bishop’s Favourite label, bearing the surname of the founding family, which still owns the farm. They also grow, sell and produce an extensive variety of other produce and products. We’ll continue to Canning, a picturesque village, where you’ll have the opportunity to eat at a wholesome café. From Canning we’ll drive along windy roads between fertile fields to Blomidon Provincial Park. A stunning beach, bordered by tremendous red cliffs with three waterfalls, highlights this park. The final stop will be The Lookoff, which offers the best view of the Annapolis Valley and is actually tough to describe. If desired, we can stop in Perreaux on the way home for ice cream.

This is a half-day trip. Or make it a full day trip. After The Lookoff, for the hikers, why not continue another 10 minutes to Cape Split, a five-hour hike on a breathtaking trail of geological significance.

Lunenburg & Mahone Bay

A quick google image search will reveal these towns as typical Nova Scotian fishing villages. The friendly people and colourful homes make it easy to see why these towns are such a popular destination. A closer look will reveal calm wooden wharf that runs the length of the waterfront, many charming shops and delicious restaurants and café’s, many serving typical seafood dishes like lobster and chowder. As a half-day trip, we will stop in both towns, with a longer stay in Lunenburg. Everyone will have time to browse the shops, walk the waterfront and/or have a meal at a local restaurant.

Our ever-improving snow making system covers 2/3rds of our total terrain and we have night skiing on three trails, Sissy, Rosebowl and Beaver, and lights on the Terrain Park and 1/2 pipe.

From the beginner Chickadee and flowing tree covered South Side trails, to the Explosion and gladed steeps around the mountain, you’ll always find some challenging terrain at Ski Wentworth – regardless of your ability!

HALIFAX TO MARBLE MOUNTAIN, NL

Marble Mountain’s vertical drop is the highest in Atlantic Canada. Nearby Corner Brook is the snowiest city in Canada. And Newfoundlanders are known for being the friendliest people in the world.

Do you want to learn to ski? The Marble Mountain Snow School offers daily lessons in skiing, snowboarding, and programs designed especially for kids.

Marble Villa is Marble Mountain Resort’s condominium-style hotel and the only true ski-in / ski-out accommodation at Marble Mountain. Affordable and convenient, these slope side ski accommodations include kitchen facilities and beautiful views of the ski slopes and the Humber Valley.

And while we’re obviously biased to skiing and boarding, we must admit that other winter activities do in fact exist – and they’re loads of fun too! So we figured we’d take a look around this gorgeous area of ours and see what else you can get up to in the cold months. What we found was pretty astonishing!
